The Europa League wasn't worth winning back then though.The good old days. A pint was £1, people were friendlier, tomatos tasted better and people bought newspapers.
This is a Chelsea thread, stay on topicDo you remember what one of those is like?
This season has been shit, but compared to 15/16 it feels like a treble season.Amazing how so many Chelsea fans in here just want to bash Jose for that season and exonerate Conte. This season was an absolute shit-show, end of, really. There's no dressing it up. Poor signings, manager and board at war, poor performances on the pitch etc...
To be fair there's only one poster here who's still criticising Jose. Rest of the the Chelsea fans are more balanced.Amazing how so many Chelsea fans in here just want to bash Jose for that season and exonerate Conte.

Technically he would still be classed as an FA Cup winner regardless should we win.If i was the Chelsea board i would sack him before the FA Cup final, just because i dont think hes looked at all interested at Chelsea almost the entire season, and now has the potential to add the FA Cup to his C.V. moaned the signings were not enough, not who he really wanted, which is poor man management, then the way he treated Diego Costa, my god they could have done with a Costa this season as well. the away performance v city is up there with one of the worst performances i have ever seen from Chelsea over the years, walked about most of the time and when they did get the ball they just punted it up to Hazard who just looked like he couldnt care less.
Roy Keane Claims he's never won the CL because he never played in the final and never accepted a medal, that man sets the standards for me and am willing to go with that.Technically he would still be classed as an FA Cup winner regardless should we win.
Then that's his choice but he's cutting of his nose to spite his face as it was thanks to him United got to the final.Roy Keane Claims he's never won the CL because he never played in the final and never accepted a medal, that man sets the standards for me and am willing to go with that.
he was out suspended so could have been his fault had they not won it.Then that's his choice but he's cutting of his nose to spite his face as it was thanks to him United got to the final.
Kante didn't play the match that sealed our title win last season, does that mean he didn't deserve a medal?
As much as I love Keane's determination and high standards, there is a point where those things become impractical and unrealistic. Keane often crosses that line, especially with his scathing criticisms, no one is going to berate him for being satisfied with something.Roy Keane Claims he's never won the CL because he never played in the final and never accepted a medal, that man sets the standards for me and am willing to go with that.
Maybe, but ultimately they won it and it was in a big part down to his performance in Turin.he was out suspended so could have been his fault had they not won it.
a league is a bit different to a cup competition, where i beleive you only need so much games to be awarded a medal 5 games now or something like that.
Its some United fans on here that keep bringing up 15/16 and and as consequence Mourinho into the discussion. Its been happening nearly everytime we dont win for months.How amused hearing Blues fan bashing the most important legend in their history who won them 50% of league titles just to justify a total loss season orchestrated by one of regular passengers who only slept with them for a maximum 2 years.
That explains a lot why their legends kept leaving them for a rival and their current key players dont want to extent their contracts. Deep in their minds they knew it's just a matter of time when somebody new or younger comes and claims their places, they aint gonna be missed even how glorious their time was
It was a stupid minority. If we're counting a minority as someone who defines a whole fanbase then didn't you lot prevented a black man from entering in a train and chanting "we're racist, we're racist"Its some United fans on here that keep bringing up 15/16 and and as consequence Mourinho into the discussion.

Furthermore how is it unreasonable to critisise him for having us fighting relegation? I I mean weren't you lot on Fergies back when you finished 3rd for a few years?
From what I recall the ones that did were concerned the game was passing him by, that obviously turned out to be wrong but the point I was making is you can criticise a manager or even want one out while still appreciating the past.It was a stupid minority.

Eh?What a shame of football

Same was said in 2016.Chelsea look to be in an absolute mess. Possibly Courtois and Hazard leaving them soon too.
If you come at us we are in trouble, but will Jose do that or sit and let us dictate like he did in the league games?If we lose to this shitshow next week it will be criminal.
Cool, so Chelsea aren't in a mess and everything looks good.Same was said in 2016.
Never said that, but we have a habit of sorting ourselves out when we get into ruts and im confident we will again.Cool, so Chelsea aren't in a mess and everything looks good.
We have been operating on low net spend for ten years so i wouldn't get your hopes up.Hopefully Roman is over of spending billions and we are seeing Chelsea finally fall back to their natural level.
Nah. Fan run, enthusiastic about the Chelsea academy.Wow what is this? An official account?
Youve only really begun operating within your means last couple years. Roman dumped about billion into your club first 10 years and he is still paying for your new stadium yes?We have been operating on low net spend for ten years so i wouldn't get your hopes up.
Mission accomplished. We finished 5th, not 12th!
Since 2013First time they'll be in a full Europa League campaign next season since christ knows when.
1st time every maybe?
That will affect them.
